Holy Mackerel!!!
Me410 is nice, but didn't serve a heck of a lot in WWII. Beaufighter did the whole war!! What do the HiTech guys have against this aircraft?
Cheers anyway.

They did not decide it.
We did. The 410 won the vote :)

Must have had a lot of pages missing in your history books!!!

Classic developers trick. If the players vote happens to be what the devs already decided, everyone are happy. If not, the developers continue with their decision and file the players choice for minor consideration sometime in the future.

Elections have consequences. If you did not vote you can't complain and you end up with the ME-410. Next time there is a vote show up and and cast your ballot for your choice. Bring a like minded friend to vote with you. Then maybe you will end up with what you wanted. I did not vote for the 410 I was a Yak-3 guy.

So you're saying HTC tricked us. There of course was no chance it was an actual vote?

Classic BS artist trick. You don't know what you're talking about so you make something up that assumes everyone is as dishonest as you are.

Majors,
No offence but based on your history on what planes you have requested to be added to the game during these years, the game would be filled with Western Allies' equipment with maybe one silly messerschmitt and maybe a zero for them to shoot down.
As far as history goes, it's not the Western Allies' planeset that is the most lacking. I suggest you take a look at the planeset of the USSR.
...I know, they're godless commies so they don't count.

Don't be picking on my Beaufighter now Wmaker ;)

Not really. They did not commit to building whatever was elected as first priority. It is a good thing for a developer to do since there is little to loose and it pleases the players either way. They really do like to know what the players want even if it is a minor consideration for them - and for the better.
The problem with players vote is like with real democracy - anyone can vote, even if he is completely clueless, devoted less than 5 seconds to the decision and voted for the guy in the prettier suit.
-
We don't have the 410 yet, either.

Fly a Mossie at 60% throttle with bombs onboard, you will essentially be flying a Sleaufighter. ;)

He has nothing to do with it, the community overwhelmingly voted for two aircraft in a user poll. One we have, the other is nearly upon us.... and your beloved Beau I think was included in it but didn't survive round 1...
Here we go: http://www.hitechcreations.com/News/Announcements/ww2-aircraft-poll.html
We have run an in-game poll over the past couple of weeks asking people what plane they would most like to see added to the flight sim game in order to help us plan future development. The results are in and we have a winner- the B-29 Superfortress!
(http://www.hitechcreations.com/images/stories/news/b29-superfortress.jpg)
We currently have other planes and vehicles in production but we will promote the B-29 to the next open production spot. Here are the results of all three rounds of polling.
Round 1 Results
-----------------------------------------
3.8% Pe-2 - Russian Medium Bomber
4.5% Ki-45 Toryu "Nick" - Japanese Attack / Heavy Fighter
5.5% Ki-43 Hayabusa "Oscar" - Japanese Fighter
10.4% Beaufighter - British Attack / Heavy Fighter
11.3% Me 410 - German Attack / Heavy Fighter
12.1 % He 111 - German Medium Bomber
12.6% A-26 Invader - American Light Bomber / Attack
39.8% B-29 Superfortress - American Heavy Bomber
Round 2 Results
-----------------------------
18.3 % He 111 - German Medium Bomber
18.8% A-26 Invader - American Medium Bomber / Attack
19.3% Me 410 - German Attack / Heavy Fighter
43.6% B-29 Superfortress - American Heavy Bomber
Round 3 Results
------------------------------
40.8% Me 410 - German Attack / Heavy Fighter
59.2% B-29 Superfortress - American Heavy Bomber

Babalonian,
That is from the vote prior to the one resulting in the Me410.
-
Karnak, I believe you are mistaken, there has been no official user (in-game) poll since. I just went looking again and found no poll, at least which had its results published, as being more-recent. If I recall correctly the first post/mention regarding the 410 entering development from HiTech or HTCs has the answer, but from my (s!@#y) memory it is because it scored greater than 40% against the B-29 in the final round of the poll I quoted earlier.
-
Babalonian,
The last in game poll came down to the Yak-3 vs the Me410 and the Me410 won.
You appear to have missed it. It was all "fighters" and all "non-American". Beaufighter and Meteor were also on it.
Here is Pyro's thread about the results from Round 3:

Heck, reading through that thread you posted in it, Babalonian. Are you ok?

Without the Me-410, very curious to see what the next fighter poll will be.
I wish the g.55 would get more then 5% of the votes, most people probably have no clue what the hell a g.55 is besides a blender at walmart.
-
I would like the Beaufighter.
In other sims that have a rolling planeset, the Beau is awesome in early war dates, mid war dates, and late war dates.
-

Ki-43, Yak-3, Beaufighter, HE-111 seem logical choices. So many more can be added (KI-100 etc.). Wish we would get more new planes per year. Still, AH has done a bang up job on what we DO have. :aok

Now I remember, the Yak-3 poll. :rofl I thought/vaguely-remembered there was another poll, but couldn't find it on the main webpage or the BBS's "Anoucnements" category. It was done in-game too I believe.
(has it really been 8/9-months?)
-
Man how could I have forgotten! I was really curious why the last poll's two runner ups were included against an assortment of really good choices that not a lot of the community had probabley ever heard about before (you know, Karnak, "the fighters being non-American" and all :neener: ). Everyone/anyone could of predicted which would become the runner-ups, again and such.
This thread's OP should apreciate my forgotten babling from back then: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,322178.0.html :rofl :rolleyes:
-
IMHO, as long as we don't have the He-111 this planeset will be critically maimed...
Sorry, no need for LW planes when the EW and MW planesets look like a RTB He-111 after BoB mission...
Cheers,
-
It has become a popularity vote. Same as todays All-Star game in baseball.
So planes like the Oscar, Ki100, Beaufighter, Pe2...planes that the general populous
of the MA never never land first person shooter arena never heard of have little if any chance.
Anything deemed thefastestbiggestgunnnedmoste stgreatest has the best chance.
That is just the way it is.

Sure they count, the Soviet plane set is way under-represented. That said, they're still Godless commies..... ;)

Kind off topic a bit here but...
How did Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 do it? I mean they had 300 something planes, was it because of a larger dev team or just rushed flight modeling?
-
after all the fun you are having in the 410 (not) you really want more of that sort of thing?
-
ME-410 won the last vote. Case closed. :old:

Il-2's flight models are much simpler. They are all the same with just different weights, roll rates and power levels as far as I can tell. There is never any airframe specific flight behavior.
